Applications for Banana as GI were filed by the states of Karnataka and Tamilnadu, and all these bananas (Nanjanagud Banana, Virupakshi Hill Banana, Sirumalai Hill Banana Kamalapur Red Banana) had been Registered Geographical Indication. The credit goes to the two states i.e. Tamil Nadu state (for 2 applications) and Karnataka state (for 2 applications) to have taken the initiative for filing the applications.
